in reply to rtf to pdf

Search the CPAN (http://search.cpan.org) for rtf and pdf, there's a few interesting looking modules there like PDF::Create and RTF::Parser. Between the various RTF and PDF modules, I'm sure one could string together a converter.

    Thanks for that.

    The reason I am looking for a pure script is because getting modules onto my PDA Perl installation is tricky to say the least.

    I'll continue searching anyway.

    Thanks again

      The two I listed (and doubtless most of the rest of the PDF and RTF modules in CPAN) are "pure perl", which is what I thought you meant when I first read it. If you can build a script on your PC that uses them and does the job, then you can certainly also cut+paste the contents of pure perl modules into your scripts (just remember to switch back to package main; after including the modules' source).

      If the modules are Pure Perl, all you need to do is unzip lib/* into the perl/site/lib/ directory or in the same directory as the script that uses them. It doesn't get easier than that.
